Fungi Abstract

Went out yesterday morning as the sun was out to look for some fungi in the woods behind my house. Unfortunately most of them have past their prime. Then I came across a small cluster of a fairly large mushroom. So I thought I'd try something different this time. Question is, does it work for you?

Thanks for looking!

Smart looking image Des - very nice :toast: :toast:

What's going on at the top RH corner though - you seem to be losing contrast :confused:

Nice to know it worked for some of you....

Andy - good eye as usual, it's the sun coming through. This is full frame and I guess the s'hroom is quite big enough :smile:

That's a really neat shot - good stuff! The strong contrasting light really works well.

Absolutely - really nice abstract. Strong contrast and the strong diagonals make it work for me. Tristan
